Interference and Diffraction of Light Lab Report-University of Central Florida PHYSICS 2049

Document Content and Description Below

Lab Report - Interference and Diffraction of Light By Cody Carroll and Michael Schulte Objective The distances between the central maximum and the diffraction minima for a single slit are measured ... by scanning the laser pattern with a light sensor and plotting light intensity versus distance. Also, the distance between interference maxima for two or more slits is measured. These measurements are compared to theoretical values. Difference and similarities between interference and diffraction patterns are examined, including the effect of changing the wavelength of the light. Method You will be measuring the single slit diffraction and the double slit interference with two different colored lasers that produce different light waves while moving the background around. You will be testing to see the differences that light diffraction and interference of different size slits. Materials 1) Basic Optics Track, 1.2m (1) 2) High Precision Diffraction Slits (1) 3) Red Diode Laser (1) 4) Green Diode Laser (1) 5) Aperture Bracket (1) 6) Linear Translator (1) 7) High Sensitivity Light Sensor (1) 8) Rotary Motion Sensor (1) [Show More]
